On average, the MEPs had 1.7 micrograms/liter of glyphosate in their urine, 17 times higher than the European drinking water norm (0.1 microgram/litre). This means that everyone we tested was way above the limit for residues of pesticides in drinking water.

Of the 48 participants, EU-parliament members from Belgium, France and Germany made up more than 80 percent of the whole investigated participants. The test showed that EU-parliament members from Lithuania, Spain and Croatia had the highest concentrations of glyphosate. The lowest concentrations were in the urines of participants of from Italy, Finland and Ireland.

"Nevertheless all investigated EU-parliament members were glyphosate-contaminated. This will show glyphosate is also in the food chain of members of the EU-parliament," the report states.

Glyphosate, which the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) declared a possible carcinogen last March, is the main ingredient in Monsanto's widely used weedkiller, Roundup. It is also found in herbicides manufactured by Syngenta and Dow.

Despite fierce opposition from the European Parliament, countries such as France, Sweden, Italy and the Netherlands, and the 1.4 million people who have signed a petition calling on an EU ban, the European Commission—the executive body of the European Union—reportedly plans to relicense glyphosate for nine years.

According to the Green Party, the European Commission's latest proposal, which will be voted on May 19, will "plough ahead with a full-fledged approval of glyphosate's license for nine years."

"It considers only symbolically, if at all, the European Parliament's resolution calling for a very limited scope of approval. Responsibility for the protection of operators and for multiple risks is discharged onto Member States in a non-legally binding manner," the party said. "We are pissed off that our governments want to allow this poison for another nine years! No politician should have this in his or her body, and not a single citizen either!"

Agri-business giant Monsanto has also vehemently denied glyphosate's health and cancer risks and demanded a retraction of the IARC report.

The Green Party's MEPee test was inspired by a German study "Urinale 2015," which sampled glyphosate concentrations in urine from more than 2,000 participants.

"The study found that the scale of the glyphosate problem is enormous, with detected concentrations in urine between five and 42 times over the maximum value of residues for drinking water in Europe," the Green Party pointed out. "No less than 99.6 percent of all citizens who took part in this survey had higher residue levels. This means that virtually all citizens are contaminated with glyphosate."

Comment: Do people realise how bad this is? Monsanto's herbicide/pesticide is IN YOUR BODY.

Where do you get it from? Monsanto's GMO food that you eat! Why? Because for grains to be loaded with herbicide/pesticide, they had to be sprayed with herbicide/pesticide. And to be able to survive being sprayed with a herbicide, they have to Genetically Modified.

Imagine what genetically modified food in your body might be doing to your own genes. Chronic ailments and 'modern diseases', anyone? These people are criminally insane. They have no compunction about poisoning millions of people while telling them it is good for them.

The government is telling us that our country is not importing GM foods and that we are safe. Maybe its true but we are producing our own GM food, so why would we need to import it. I have find a lot of empty ROUNDUP bottle in the fields with onions in Macedonia. And they a lying us that our food is GM free. Its not.Its full with pesticides and glyphosate .
